[PATCH v5 3/3] module: unify absolute krctab definitions for 32-bit and 64-bit

The previous patch introduced a separate inline asm version of the
krcrctab declaration template for use with 64-bit architectures, which
cannot refer to ELF symbols using 32-bit quantities. This declaration
should be equivalent to the C one for 32-bit architectures, but this
needs to be checked first, so unify them in a separate patch.
